Granton Edge Knives
The Granton Edge
As you will see from the illustrations, the company produces a scalloped Granton Edge knife that ensures perfect cutting time after time. The scallop shape also gives you strength in the knife blade when needed. This ensures that each knife performs perfectly for the longest possible time by retaining a fine, razor sharp cutting edge for far longer than a traditional plain edge knife.
High carbon content steel is used and the heat treating process combines to leave you with a material that can be made extremely sharp and ideal for many processes where accuracy and reliability are important.
Quick Product Selector For Granton Items
A Granton Edge knife requires less steeling than ordinary knives whilst still providing you with a perfect cutting edge. The edge also allows the food to slide off the blade easier.
The blades are made from high-carbon stainless steel. This ensures that the blade stays hard and keeps its edge.
The heat treatment process along with the grinding process is the real secret of the knife. The steel must be strong enough to ensure that the fine cutting edge is maintained for the longest possible timespan, and when eventually the edge needs revitalising it can easily accomplished using a Sharpening Steel.
How To Use A Granton Knife
History
The history of Granton goes back more than 4 centuries. Granton have been making knives in the City of Sheffield for many generations and the company now supplies a wide range of the best quality professional knives and accessories that you can find anywhere. The Granton Edge is often copied but never equalled, and certainly never bettered. Beware of vendors claiming Granton Edge on their knives. If a knife is not made by Granton then it isn't Granton, it cannot be relied upon and it could let you down.

Handle Types
The knives are available with 4 handle types - Regular, Ergonomic, Ergonomic Safety & Wooden.
All handles are designed to withstand rigorous sterilising and dishwasher use and do not present the potential health hazards that are frequently associated with other knives.
The regular handle was originally designed for holding the knife safely and comfortably for long periods.
Traditional riveted wooden handles also continue to be available on many items.
The ergonomic handle was developed for the professional user who uses knives all day. The handle shows a double tapered design, ergonomically designed to reduce stress to the hand and wrist. Has a contoured thumb platform and rounded blade back for added comfort.
The ergo safety handle - This is a hybrid version of the Ergonomic described above, but it has a much longer finger guard to protect the fingers and reduce the chance of injury.
The blade sizes range from 2" to 18". See the item descriptions for details.
Colour-Coded Handles
Of particular use to trades where multiple knife use is required, Granton provides colour coding to the handles to make sure that each knife is used for the same type of product. It is vital, for example, in the catering trade that knives are not used inappropriately e.g. cutting raw and cooked meat with the same blade (cross contamination). Health risks are thus avoided yet your chefs are still able to rely on excellent tools with which to do their work.
- Red for Raw Meat
- Blue for Raw Fish
- Yellow for Cooked Meat
- Green for Salads or Fruit
- Brown for vegetables
- White for Dairy / Bakery Items
- Black for General Purpose Usage
